Mathematics
1 answer:
Snowcat [4.5K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

(x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

actor the following:

x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16

x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16:

(x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16

The factors of 16 that sum to -17 are -1 and -16. So, (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16):

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16)

x^2 - 16 = x^2 - 4^2:

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 4^2)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 4^2 = (x - 4) (x + 4):

(x - 4) (x + 4) (x^2 - 1)

x^2 - 1 = x^2 - 1^2:

(x^2 - 1^2) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 1^2 = (x - 1) (x + 1):

Answer: (x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)

The graphs of the functions f(x)=|x-3| + 1 and G(x)=2x + 1 are drawn. which statement about these functions is true?
Roman55 [17]

The only true statement that compares the two functions is:

B: The solution to f(x)=g(x) is 1

<h3>Which statements are correct?</h3>

Here we have the functions:

f(x) = |x - 3| + 1

g(x) = 2x + 1

First, let's find the solution for:

f(x) = g(x)

|x - 3| + 1 = 2x + 1

|x - 3| = 2x

Notice that we have two options, x = 3:

|3 - 3| = 2*3

0 = 6  (x = 3 is not a solution)

And x = 1:

|1 - 3| = 2*1

2 = 2  (x = 1 is a solution).

Now to get the y-value where the graphs intersect, we just evaluate one of the functions in the solution we found above;

f(1) = |1 - 3| + 1  = 2 + 1 = 3

The graphs intersect when y = 3.

Then we conclude that the only true statement is:

B: The solution to f(x)=g(x) is 1

NEED HELP IN FINDING AREA
Aliun [14]

Answer:

809 km²

Step-by-step explanation:

I can split this into 3 rectangles. One is 25 by 17, another is 24 by 13, and the last one is 6 by 12. (I had gotten 13 for the second rectangle because 25 - 12 = 13.)

(25 * 17) + (24 * 13) + (6 * 12) <em>{17 is the first number after a multiple of 4 (16). As a result, 25 by 17 will end in "25." 25 by 17 is 425.}</em>

425 + (24 * 13) + (6 * 12) <em>{24 by 13 is 312.}</em>

425 + 312 + (6 * 12) <em>{6 by 12 is 72.}</em>

425 + 312 + 72 <em>{From left to right, add 425, 312, and 72 to get 809}</em>

737 + 72

809 km²

The area of this figure is 809 km².
